Match balafon gourd resonator sizes to key pitches with AI acoustic modeling

EducationFree

BalafoneKey AI calculates the optimal gourd resonator size for each balafon key pitch by modeling Helmholtz resonance interactions between gourd volume, neck diameter, and mirliton membrane size. Builders input available gourd dimensions and receive a key-to-gourd matching plan that maximizes resonance efficiency. The system predicts the tonal effect of different mirliton membrane materials and tension levels.
